Austin is the Fastest in the Wolf Den







Austin had the Fastest and most Ferocious pinewood derby car in the Wolf Den. The whole family had a great time cheering on our Racing Champ! Austin's pack had 27 racers and his car was the fastest in his den. Austin's car was named The Last Dragon. We are so proud of you Austin. Oh and Dad may have helped a little bit.

Living on Food Storage

Okay, so I have been a total blogger drop out since Thanksgiving. The girls did a post about Maddie's birthday, but I have been neglectful. We have had a lot happen and will try to catch up, or at least stay current.

We were asked by the bishop on Sunday, along with some other families in our ward, to live on our three month supply for 10 days. We started on Monday and are now on day three. We have been using up our fresh groceries, so it has not been to hard so far. We have had one total meltdown (Maddie), because we could not go out to ice cream with her cousins. But the kids are actually doing pretty well. I have been using my dinners that I have planned for our three months supply. I had to make bread on Monday because we were almost out.

So far I have learned that I need an egg substitute for making baked goods, I am down to three precious eggs (as Maddy calls them).

I need to practice my chili making, or find a better recipe. Even Austin wouldn't eat it! They filled up on cornbread and actually didn't complain to much.

If any one has a great food storage tip or recipes let me know, since I am experimenting right now.
